Iris: Elaine’s Botanicals

This lovely flower has grown so prolifically in the raised garden beds at our house.  Craig is planning to divide (split, … whatever word you use …) them and put some in Victoria House gardens in Autumn.  It even looks like he has the same one Elaine’s Botanicals depicts here.  The stitches used are french knots, pistol stitch, double running stitch and stem stitch.  Iris is a very pretty embroidery design and good starting point for a novice stitcher.
